Insurer Zavarovalnica Sava generated almost EUR 27.9m in net profit last year, which is 16% less than in 2015. The company attributes the drop in profit to damages paid out over hail that hit the entire country last August, with north-eastern Slovenia, where the insurer is most present, being hit the hardest.

Slovenia's holding company Triglav INT, a member of the country's biggest insurer Zavarovalnica Triglav, has launched a buyout bid for the 12% stake it does not already own in Bosnian insurance company Triglav Osiguranje [SAJ:BHOSR], the latter said on Monday.

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) said on
Friday it exited its engagement in Slovenia's pension fund Prva Group,
one of the leading asset management providers in central and eastern
Europe.

Slovenia's biggest insurer, Zavarovalnica Triglav, said on Thursday it
signed a deal with Germany's KGAL Beteiligungsverwaltungs to establish a
new company, Trigal, as a regional platform for alternative
investments.
